This is where it gets interesting. After a poor debate performance, around mid-week we should see the effects of it upon obama's numbers in polls in SWING STATES, the only polls that really matter.

One week after getting his clock cleaned - in the 11 swing states - how many of them will Obama be leading in? I think he was up in 9 of the 11 swing states. 33 said last night he's seen polls showing that is changing, still waiting on those, as I believe it takes about a week to see changes.

predict now - will this debate change things in a major way, or will things be 'about the same' next week?

Post-debate state polls show Romney up one in Virginia, the president up one in Ohio and Romney up two in Florida. All three remain Toss-Ups in the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College Projections. Check out our review of last week’s key polls to see “What They Told Us.”
